President Ronald Reagan - The Appeaser!

Really, the senior moments of Senile John McCain seem to be coming more frequently. John McCain said today:

“I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.'’(New York Times)

Well, actually the President Reagan administration did sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which President Reagan admitted:

On March 4, 1987, Reagan returned to the airwaves in a nationally televised address, taking full responsibility for any actions that he was unaware of, and admitting that "what began as a strategic opening to Iran deteriorated, in its implementation, into trading arms for hostages.(Wiki)

Which means in Republican terms, that President Reagan was an Appeaser!

As for the incident of Iran held hostages, that was done in the President Carter administration, and the hostage release was negotiated by the President Carter administration, although in very suspicious timing, the hostages were actually released twenty minutes after Reagan's inaugural address.
